Google Maps
The best free online map service out there, in our opinion. Click
& drag to move the map across the city. One cool feature is the
option to see your map as a satellite image. Get detailed directions
to your destination.
MapQuest
The granddaddy of all online maps, this one lets you plug in any address,
and it gives you a click-and-zoom map to help you find where you're
going. Pretty good driving directions, too -- just watch for one way
streets downtown.
eMaps Interactive Web
mapping
To use this map, you need to download a plug-in, but it's well worth
it. This interactive map lets you choose different layers. Each layer
presents different information about the city: water hydrants, garbage
collection zones, water pipes, and more. If you've ever played SimCity,
it's a real-life version of the maps available in that game.
